Studying antique photos is an excellent way to learn about Victorian and Edwardian clothing. * Take note of the design of the dresses and gowns, the details of their jewelry and accessories, the style of their hair and sometimes best of all...their fabulous hats!

On the following pages you will see some of my favorite digital photos displaying unusual and exquisite authentic Victorian and Edwardian clothing, hats and accessories. * The digital photos that I have chosen for my website have been cropped from the original photo to better display the fashion of the time period and not the entire photograph.
~ An interesting note regarding old photographs~ I was told by a very reliable source that when a person is photographed with a book in their hand or on their lap it is meant to indicate literacy.
